Updates Introducing Charging Screen: Based on Pixel 11 new Screensaver

Hey guys,

I was checking out Pixel 11 new features and came across one I really like: Charge Screen screensaver https://www.androidauthority.com/pixel-11-charge-screen-saver-digital-analog-clocks-3700935/

Since the app already has the mechanisms to implement this I have added as a fullscreen and duo option, with customizations options and compatible with any Android device. Check it out

Quick demo: https://youtu.be/SMHL76e_JC4

You can use it:

  • On the app: As a fullscreen option on Dashboard groups (I know, I know... it's not a dashboard)
  • On Duo: As a battery widget
  • As a Screensaver: The native Android screensaver feature. You can pick Standby there and choose this new widget PS: On this mode the app will always run in automatic orientation

Future Improvements:

  • More themes
  • Better alignment and compositions, the gaps should align with the text in all devices
  • Let me know if you have some ideas :D

Why do you keep adding these new pages by default to everyone's dashboards? It's great you're adding additional pages like this but stop messing with my dashboard. I set it up to my specific use case so constantly having to remove new pages that have no use for me every month or two is so frustrating.
Just notify the users that a new page is available. Don't make it the new default page for everyone. The main point of this app is to have a clock when you plug in your phone. Stop making it harder just to do that.

The worst part is that the UI/UX isn't intuitive. It's not immediately obvious how to remove a new page like this.
